Lol, well it's like I said, I do own the game I just left it unopened as a collectors item. I could easily open it anytime if I had to but I'd rather not do so as it'd ruin the collector value (and using the disc itself would only further worsen the condition). Also, as per the rules, piracy is not endorsed here so I figured I'd ask and see if this would be considered piracy and against the rules.

You could call a lawyer and ask him. I wouldn't expect an answer from some one here. I would just do what your going to do and not worry about it. If you see the paddy wagon outside, and the 5 0 are about to bust down your door, just open the game before they start searching through your hard drive and comparing the originals. LOL.
